<wo:WOString formatter =
"$hTMLFormtter" value = "$currentNote.noteText" />
add escapeHTML = "$false"
or is that $false? I don't use inline bindings...

Obviously, I don't understand how to create,
instantiate, or implement a formatter. Here's what I tried.
I created HTMLLineBreakReformatter.java as:
package com.as.utils;
import java.text.FieldPosition;
import java.text.Format;
import java.text.ParsePosition;
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class HTMLLineBreakReformatter extends Format
{
@Override
public StringBuffer format(Object
object, StringBuffer buffer, FieldPosition pos) {
return
buffer.append(((String)object).replaceAll("\n", "<BR
/>"));
}
@Override
public Object parseObject(String
source, ParsePosition pos) {
return null;
}
}
Then I imported it into my java for the page:
public HTMLLineBreakReformatter hTMLFormtter;
and in the constructor for the page's java:
public UserMain(WOContext context) {
super(context);
hTMLFormtter = new
HTMLLineBreakReformatter();
}
then in the WOString in question:
<wo:WOString formatter = "$hTMLFormtter"
value = "$currentNote.noteText" />
the \n's are indeed replaced by <br /> and I see
in the page in question:
I need to see the example here!!!<BR /><BR
/><BR />and again<BR /><BR />and
again<BR /><BR />and again!!!
the HTML page is not interpreting the <br /> as
a new line which means I don't understand something.
I am running out of ideas to try. I should say I feel
that I have run out of ideas.
Thanks for any help...
Ted
